Bush Declares That Cheney Is ‘The Best Vice President In History’
Bush Declares That Cheney Is ‘The Best Vice President In History’
During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this morning, President Bush told the crowd of raucous right-wing activists that he “appreciates the fact that” they “invited Vice President Cheney” to speak.
Between intermittent cheers of “four more years,” Bush told the crowd, Cheney “is the best vice president in history.” Watch it:
While Bush’s chosen superlative for Cheney may be “best vice president” ever, history is likely to take another view. For instance, Cheney’s biographer Stephen Hayes describes him as “the most secretive” vice president in history.
The American people may have a different opinion as well. In a recent opinion poll, only 28 percent of Americans approved of the job Cheney is doing as vice president. Additionally, over 221,000 Americans have signed a petition calling for Congress to begin impeachment hearings against him.

lol then it MUST be true~
February 8th, 2008 at 11:21 amI think a president at 30% approval for this long is a threat to national security and that his opinions don’t mean shit~
February 8th, 2008 at 11:22 amIt’s true, insofar as Bush’s understanding of history extends back about 12 minutes.
But by the same criterion, he’s also the worst.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:23 amReality calling George W. Bush… hello, anyone there??
February 8th, 2008 at 11:23 amWell, in Cheney’s defense he is doing the duties both the vp and the president, that must count for something.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:24 ampresident at 30% approval rating
Says the same media and Television networks that have still never to this date played Michael moors Farenheit 911
although Farenheit 911 has been played on mainstream media in every European country years ago
The Media is more powerful than any politician
February 8th, 2008 at 11:25 amAnd Charles Manson, a real gentleman…
February 8th, 2008 at 11:25 amLOOKS LIKE BUSH IS BUILDING UP HIS CREDIBILITY FOR HIS COMING LEGACY OF “THE BEST PRESIDENT” EVER
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
February 8th, 2008 at 11:25 amBush declares Coco Puff “worlds best breakfast food.”
Meanwhile, America declares “Bush an idiot.”
February 8th, 2008 at 11:25 amThis is the usual Bush/Republiscum tactic of shamelessly stating a lie as truth, and expecting the Sheeple and MSM to accept it as truth.
Sadly, this almost always works.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:25 amI have to laugh!!! Is he for real? If you can believe coming from a two year old.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:27 amOne more in a long line of Bush statements that is most accurately understood as the absolute photo negative of the truth.
He IS consistent, I’ll give him that.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:27 amBush: Well, since Cheney’s the best VP, and he chose me to run with, that must make me the Best. President. Ever.
So there.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:28 amAh, the horse’s ass speaks highly of the horses balls, how cute.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:29 amI cannot beleive that 30% of Americans think killing 1.3 millions Iraqis for NOTHING is justified by voting for Bush
February 8th, 2008 at 11:30 ami’m sure he can claim many “bests”…
February 8th, 2008 at 11:30 ambut i get bad vibes just thinkin’ about it… so i won’t…
Well now, Poppy’s next chat with junior could be a bit testy.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:30 amYeah, he also caught that big-assed fish too.

… and Liver and Onions the best flavor for ice cream ever.
… “Mama’s Family” the all-time greatest television program.
… Titanic was the awesomest cruise ever.
and the ‘62 Mets the greatest baseball team to ever take the field.
(Bush later amended his remarks to suggest that, upon further reflection, he thought dog poop might make an even better ice cream than L&O.)
February 8th, 2008 at 11:34 amBetween intermittent cheers of “four more years,†Bush told the crowd, Cheney “is the best vice president in history.â€
February 8th, 2008 at 11:34 amWas the crowd trying to sound more stupid/full of crap than Chimpy and vice versa ; did they have an ongoing bet on who could come up with the most stupid and outright dishonest statement ?
Charles Manson was the “best front-man for a rock group” too, according to some of his contemporaries.

February 8th, 2008 at 11:35 amSave America. Put a fence up around the cpac conference, and don’t ever let’em out.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:37 amWe’ll see how Chimpy’s words resonate, with their sycophants, when the US soon slips into a depression, that will make 1929 look like a “cakewalk”.
Of course I’m sure they’ll find a way to blame it on Clinton.
HECK OF A JOB…
February 8th, 2008 at 11:38 amI just threw up.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:38 amIf you’re going to quote Bush you need to use the whole quote. Here’s what he actually said :
“like ..In terms of evading arrest and trial for almost 7 years now, i would say that Richard Cheney IS the best Vice President in history.. ya’ll”
See, he said ya’ll so it must be Bush.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:39 amNuremberg has a pair of nooses reserved for POTUS & VP. Hurry up now, we don’t want to keep them waiting.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:39 amBetween intermittent cheers of “four more years,†…………..the crowd was then quietly placed in straightjackets and rightfully hauled off to Bellevue for evaluation …………..
February 8th, 2008 at 11:39 amAh yes, the mentely incompetent crazy speaking good about his handler….Wonder if cheney was behind the curtin with a bottle of booze and some cocane for the worst president in our history…Handling the insane must be a fun job..Not…….Blessings

If there is another terrorist attack, between now and November, you can kiss the elections goodbye.

February 8th, 2008 at 11:40 amHow much does this guy hate his dad? For the love of God you couldn’t make this stuff up. The funny thing he didnt even think of (or remember) his dad as VP. He just opens his mouth and delivers an unqualified insult to his own Father.
He really is just … words escape me.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:40 amAre these people living in a bubble ? Republicans don’t read or even watch anything other than Fox ? Just what is better since they have been in control ? And Cheney sends his dog to the Vet in a limo with two SUV’s of Security for a health check while people are dying without healthcare. What world are they living in ?
February 8th, 2008 at 11:40 amThe most lying criminal and worst president in history is calling war criminal, traitor Cheney the best VP in History, yeah right, alot of credibility there.

Economy Poll
Consumer confidence dropped sharply to a 14-year low this week, extending a month-long decline similar to those seen at the start of the 1990-91 and 2001 recessions.
The ABC News Consumer Comfort Index stands at -33 on its scale of +100 to -100, down 6 points in the past week and 13 points in the past month. That’s an unsettling sign: The index fell by 13 points in four weeks just in advance of the 1990-91 recession and by 14 points in four weeks leading up to the 2001 recession.
A decline of this week’s magnitude, moreover, is rare: The CCI has lost 6 or more points in a single week on just 11 occasions in 22 years of weekly surveys. This week’s fall occurred mainly in the West, where confidence had been higher than in other regions.

Bush told the crowd, Cheney “is the only vice president in history to shoot a lawyer in the face while drunk, and get away with it.â€
There. Fixed it for ya!
February 8th, 2008 at 11:46 amMcCain: “Should [an interrogator use torture] and thereby save an American city or prevent another 9/11, authorities and the public would surely take this into account when judging his actions and recognize the extremely dire situation he confronted.â€
Hillary Clinton: “Those are very rare, but if they occur, there has to be some lawful authority for pursuing it ….[If] we have sufficient basis to believe that there is something imminent, yeah, but then we’ve got to have a check and balance on that.â€
Obama :â€The secret authorization of brutal interrogations is an outrageous betrayal of our core values, and a grave danger to our security …torture is not a part of the answer - it is a fundamental part of the problem …. Torture is how you create enemies, not how you defeat them. Torture is how you get bad information, not good intelligence … When I am president America will …[stand] up to these deplorable tactics. When I am president we won’t work in secret to avoid honoring our laws and Constitution, we will be straight with the American people and true to our values.â€

February 8th, 2008 at 11:52 amthat is one seriously creepy bubble they’ve got going on over there.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:53 amTrust me the Bush supporters will blame everything on the next President as they did when after Bush took over the recession was Clinton’s fault, 9/11 fault everything but Bush. Rove’s job was to keep Bush from being faulted for ignoring signs of 9/11 happening. It is never Bush’s fault, what a horrific jerk !
February 8th, 2008 at 11:55 amBy that standard, I am the greatest person ever to live!
February 8th, 2008 at 11:59 amThe only place in the Universe that Bush could utter those words without being greeted with hysterical laughter is CPAC. Any room full of normal humans would respond with derision, or just assume that Mr President is making a funny.
CPAC, though? May as well call it the Gathering of Troglodytes.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:59 amthat is one seriously creepy bubble they’ve got going on over there.
very, very creepy
February 8th, 2008 at 12:00 pmThis from the man who thinks he’s the best president in history. Just nod, smile politely, and walk away slowly.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:03 pmHell of thing for the worst POTUS in history to proclaim his VP to be the best one in history. Now that’s what I call a cridible reference. Dear god, please save America from these corrupt, greedy, dupliciit con men/women and their immoral and murderous politics. They have sold our country and our government to the highest bidder and forsaken their responsibilities to the citizens of America. I hate them with every fiber of my being for what they have done to my country.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:05 pmWe gotta put this idiot to sleep. Enough is enough!
February 8th, 2008 at 12:07 pmAnother chilling moment of watching this man disgrace his office yet again…
February 8th, 2008 at 12:07 pmGeorge W. Bush are the problem to USA. Clinton will be better.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:08 pmExcuse me, but why is the fact that the Chimp is speaking at this conference an “Alert” on Fox?
February 8th, 2008 at 12:09 pmAnother thing, obama is the expert in economy. Hillarry have very dificult to this.

Lest the chymp not forget, his latest two poll ratings:
CNN/Opinion Research 2/1-3/08
Approve …..32
Disapprove 67
Duh? …………1
Diff …………-35
CBS 1/30 - 2/2/08
Approve …..27
Disapprove 65
Whaaa? …… 8

It’s not just the five point difference in approval, but note the disapproval rate in the newer poll.
And the differentials, Wow!
People KNOW this schmuck is the worst presidunce ever.

Zooey - Fox doesn’t report real news so if their leader opens his stupid mouth they get all excited, probably peed their pants.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:14 pmI wonder how it feels to have shit pour out of your mouth everytime you open it?
Bush needs a BS filter.
Cheney needs a drool cup.
Condi needs a girlfriend.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:18 pmWhat drug is Bush taking to make himself so DELUUUUSIONAL???

well, you get the idea.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:21 pmSince I am assuming that Cheney’s hand is still up Charlie Dubya McCarthy’s a$$, it’s probably Dick that’s actually saying the words.
But this presents a rather interesting discussion point. What makes a “good” Vice President? And of our past Vice Presidents, who might reasonably be considered “the best”?
I see a lot of polls and surveys about who our best president was, but I have never seen one for veeps.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:21 pmHumor: hell, even Nixon would be better. Kinda makes tricky Dick look like an alter boy.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:23 pmYes, and ‘My Pet Goat’ is the finest piece of literature he’s ever read, and the swastika is just a Tiebtan good luck charm.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:24 pmImpeach Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!
…and “we do not torture.” RIIIIIGHT.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:27 pmWell, after all, Cheney did make all the decisions while George struggled through “My Pet Goat” for 7 years.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:27 pmI’d rank Spiro Agnew ahead of Cheney. And that’s sayin sumptin.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:27 pmMaybe he means that the prospect of President Cheney is so freaking scary that nobody would take a shot at him. Scaring the world into protecting the POTUS - or at least until another Islamofascist pretzel attacks.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:29 pmI doubt president dingleberry could even name another VP, let alone know what any of them did.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:33 pmIn “THE ONE PERCENT DOCTRINE Deep Inside America’s Pursuit of its Enemies since 9/11″. by Ron Suskind. Simon & Schuster. 2006. Suskind writes that Mr. Cheney’s nickname inside the CIA was “Edgar” (as in Edgar Bergen), casting President Bush in the puppet role of Charlie McCarthy.
I think Cheney is the most powerful VP we have ever had. W certainly doesn’t know enough to think or make decisions. He can only do what Cheney, Rumsfeld, or Rice tells him.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:37 pmw is also the 2nd stupidest man ever born….
February 8th, 2008 at 12:42 pmAmazing, bush and cheney have totally destructed the Republican party and yet the supporters cheer them on. What a scarey lot of people.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:54 pmThat 9% approval rating of dead-eye dick certainly substantiates herr dubyah’s claim.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:56 pmCondi Rice, “Gee George, that’s some dick you’ve got!”
February 8th, 2008 at 1:02 pmBush, “Yeah, he’s a helluva Vice President!”
I guess Lyndon B. Johnson can’t hold a candle to him even though he later became the president who:
(from Wikipedia)
February 8th, 2008 at 1:13 pmIn conjunction with the civil rights movement, Johnson overcame southern resistance and got Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed most forms of racial segregation. Johnson signed it into law on July 2, 1964. Legend has it that, as he put down his pen, Johnson told an aide, “We have lost the South for a generation,” anticipating a coming backlash from Southern whites against Johnson’s Democratic Party.[20] In 1965, he achieved passage of a second civil rights bill, the Voting Rights Act, that outlawed discrimination in voting, thus allowing
millions of southern blacks to vote for the first time.
Between intermittent cheers of “four more years,â€

Good God these right wing fanatics are delirious.
They want “4 more years” of the administration that has destroyed America, destroyed the right wing Repub movement and has turned Americans against the right wing Repub movement.
They should have handed out 5lb. hand mallets to the right wing crowd at this years CPAC. It would be easier for them to just bash their brains out and get it over with then to have “4 more years” of Bush.
February 8th, 2008 at 1:15 pmBest Vice President in History…
That’s on par with “Mission Accomplished!”, or “mushroom clouds over NYC”.
My left nut would have made a better VP than Darth ever has.
February 8th, 2008 at 1:18 pmBig Dick Cheney is still pulling the master puppetteer strings.Maybe BIG DICK is the best bird hunter,Talk about stright shootig son of gun.Bush is as dillusional as Cheney is the best ever!!!!
February 8th, 2008 at 1:26 pmThey should have handed out 5lb. hand mallets to the right wing crowd at this years CPAC. It would be easier for them to just bash their brains out and get it over with then to have “4 more years†of Bush.

The vagueness is intentional. From the Implementation Actions section, paragraph 5:
I’m all for protecting our people and property, but whose interest’s are we really protecting, and who’s the threat?
February 8th, 2008 at 1:31 pmROFLMAO!
February 8th, 2008 at 1:33 pmCheney does the best Darth Vader impersonation of any VP in history. This is as comical as the poster John Kerry pretending to be a Neo-Con. In Bizarro World/Orwellian politics, remember EVERYTHING said is opposite.
This CPAC convention reminds me of one-legged cowboys at a butt-kickin’ contest.
The saying should then be “Four Sore Years”…..without grease!
February 8th, 2008 at 1:39 pmYikes, the leader of our country has totally lost touch with reality.
February 8th, 2008 at 1:45 pmBest VP in history?
February 8th, 2008 at 1:58 pmThis is coming from the worst President in history.
Nothing could be more absurd.

February 8th, 2008 at 2:16 pmBetween this article and the article on Condi for VP - You have to ask yourself - What planet are these people living on???
February 8th, 2008 at 2:18 pmWell, EVIL would CERTAINLY praise other EVIL.
But God SEES their acts of GENOCIDE and TORTURE and HEARS their LIES and the CRIES OF HIS DEAD CHILDREN.
Bush and Cheney will be with their MASTER Satan when they DROP DEAD.
Along with Saddam and TRAITOR Ronnie Reagan.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:23 pmDick Cheney took five deferments to avoid service in Vietnam. Not one deferment. Not two. 5! He said he had “more important things to do.” Today he is a scowling, foul-mouthed, secretive, pro-war, pro-torture, worthless excuse for a vice-president. A disgusting politician that makes anyone with a lick of sense hang his or her head in shame.
Yet Skippy Mc AWOL and the 24 %-ers have a little American Gund rally and declare Dead Eye Dick the best VP ever.
This has to be a comedy routine. No way this bullsh*t can be real!
February 8th, 2008 at 2:36 pmAnd if Dubya says it…it has absolutely no credibility.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:41 pmDick Cheney before he dicks you.
Had to try be be #100.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:44 pmTRAITOR Bush called Rush Limbaugh “a great amerikkkan” a couple of years ago.
The only ones who believe that are the azslickers of TRAITOR Bush anyway.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:45 pmIf he had said that almost anywhere else everyone would have started to laugh.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:48 pmPrezildent Despondent: Cheney Is ‘The Best Vice President In History’
LOL! You mean the best criminal to revise the Nixon playbook and businessman/con artist in the White House and the most criminal minded Vice-President in history that stole the taxpayers’ money and sold this country to the highest bidder.
February 8th, 2008 at 3:14 pmI wonder if Dubya realizes that by declaring that Cheney is the “best vice president in history”, he’s claiming that Cheney is even better than his own father was?
Probably not. Dubya’s just trying to say or do anything that will get people to believe there is some redeeming quality with this administration. Sort of like a guy flailing about in quicksand.
February 8th, 2008 at 3:15 pmHe really needs to sign the law that will protect all primates from being used as subjects in experiments. There are many towns you would require a license for sanity in your pocket if you said and did things that he does. The term “village idiot” is quite appropriate.
February 8th, 2008 at 4:00 pmthe law will protect him, but it is more important to protect our cousins
Oh THAT’s right. This was the convention for the mind numbing delusionals. It all makes sense now.
February 8th, 2008 at 4:45 pmHe IS the best.
Or WILL be.
NO ONE will burn HOTTER or LONGER in hell than him for their EVIL.
Except maybe TRAITOR Bush.
And Ronnie Reagan.
February 8th, 2008 at 4:57 pmcan you imagine the mind of someone who cheers on the claim that cheney is the best VP in history??
February 8th, 2008 at 8:48 pmSo there was actually 1 person in the room screaming “four more years.” How quaint. It must have been dick cheney.
February 8th, 2008 at 9:48 pmthis might be the funniest video i’ve seen in my life
February 9th, 2008 at 3:35 pmWhat scares me is who may be VP is the Dems wind up the the WH! Would be hard to sleep at night knowing our VP was selected by the braintrust of Clinton/Obama (rather NO Braintrust).
People wake up! We are in BIG TROUBLE with either of these two as Commander-in-Chief of our military. Much less left to deal with your economy and all other issues of importance in our world today. Please pray for the Republicans to maintain leadership. We also need a Republican Congress and Senate so we can at least get back to double digit approval ratings again!!!
February 9th, 2008 at 8:35 pmYou should see what gumby can do today — GUMBY!
February 9th, 2008 at 11:59 pmMaybe after 7 years of total failure, Captain Codpiece has no reference for “best” . . . .
… sadly, how would he define “worst”????
